Dog Walking Sylvania

About: I have been pet sitting dogs and cats since I was only 13 years old. When my grandparents were out of town, I would ride my bike to their house to watch over their cats and let out their dog. Now, I'm home from college and looking for a job that involves animals and I would enjoy doing. May 23rd-August 16th, I am home from college (in Racine) and taking summer bookings currently. From August 18th-December 6th, I'll be at college (in Whitewater) and taking bookings there. I'll be home (in Racine) again December 15th for winter break. Returning clients will get priority over new clients when it comes to bookings. I can walk dogs, let them out, play with both dogs and cats, feed the animals, bring in mail and packages and water any plants as needed.

About: (I go by Dakota, so some testimonies might call me that) I started off pet sitting for neighbors when I was about 14. I would feed, let out, and walk the dogs, and feed and clean cat litter boxes as needed. I moved up to dog sitting for family friends, old coworkers, and coworkers’ clients about three years ago, where I would do the same, and even bathe dogs if needed. I have experience pet sitting rodents and reptiles as well! I am currently not working a job, so I have all the time to give your babies the love and attention they need and deserve! I have experience with body language in dogs, so I can always tell when your baby is happy, upset, or uncomfortable. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, no problem! I can take your fur baby on a secure leash outside!

About: Hello! My name is Elena, and I specialize in caring for dogs of all backgrounds—including rescues, seniors, and pets with unique needs. As the owner of three rescue dogs myself, I understand that every pup has their own personality, history, and comfort level. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with: Recognizing stress, fear, and anxiety cues Supporting dogs with behavioral quirks or anxieties Providing consistent routines, medication if needed, and patient care When I care for your pet, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect timely communication, photo updates, and a sitter who truly respects the bond you share with your furry family member. Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own—because I know how much trust it takes to leave them with someone new. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable care for your furry friend. As a nursing student, I have honed my skills in time management, responsibility, and compassionate care, which seamlessly translate into my pet care services. Ensuring the safety, trust, and well-being of pets is paramount. In my home, I maintain a pet-proofed environment with secure locks and designated safe zones, ensuring cleanliness and comfort with regular cleaning and a consistent schedule of feeding, walks, and enrichment activities. Health monitoring is a priority, with regular checks for signs of illness and immediate veterinary attention if needed.

About: Hello! I study Vet Science at UW Madison and have extensive experience in both dog and cat humane societies, kennels, and have had dogs my whole life and cats for 3 years now. My dogs Jojo and Jagger are very energetic, and Indy is my tortie and the love of my life :) I tend to work weekends at my families business but can change my availability based on how familiar I get with your pet(s). I am always available to talk and will respond quickly to messages! I love to engage with pets and learn their body language, I will always have a ball or stick while walking your dog, but also understand when they need a break. My priority is making them feel as at home as possible, while earning experience in the field I love. I have patience for both cats and dogs, and will watch carefully to not over pet, play, or initiate with shy animals. Tell me more about your pet to help me help them be as comfortable as they can be!

About: I grew up with dogs and have spent the past eight years caring for and dog sitting pups of all sizes and personalities. I have looked after pets for friends and family and always treat every dog as if they were my own with patience, love, and plenty of attention. I am more than happy to host multiple pets at the same time when they come from the same household. I have a lot of time to spend with your pup, which means I can provide plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home has a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play securely, and I live in a very walkable neighborhood with a nearby park for safe, enjoyable walks. I keep a close eye on pets at all times and make sure they’re in a clean, secure, and loving environment. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own.

“Michelle was prompt in responding, friendly and outgoing with our pups, and asked great questions about them! We re-booked her promptly and highly suggest her services if you're in the greater SE-WI area.”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments throughout my whole life. I have some experience assisting pets recovering from surgery, that require specific/scheduled care, and those who are physically healthy, but perhaps are just very slow to trust. I am more than happy to meet your pet where they are, and to assist with their needs as much as you are comfortable. Due to seasonal lay-offs at my workplace, I am currently available all throughout the day. I am happy to make trips throughout the day if needed, and/or multiple days throughout the week. I take my dog for regular walks, and am happy to do the same for yours. I also do my best to present a calm and controlled energy with animals, in an attempt to let them grow more comfortable with me at their own pace. I am prepared to be patient if your pets are more shy, and playful if they are more energetic and friendly. Every dog and cat is different, and I do my best to match their energy and respect their boundaries, while ensuring I am also meeting their needs.

About: I am a single mom and full-time student looking for pet care jobs this summer and fall! I have two little boys with a lot of energy and one five-year-old puppy!! I am home most days all day every day until my school schedule picks up. I’m available for walks, pet sitting, and tons of little things in between! I have a five year-old female Saint Bernard mix who is incredible with other dogs as well as kids. Depending on the care that you need I am available to let the dog out anytime they need. Whether they are at my house or I stop by to let them out/take them on a walk. I ask that if I do care for your dogs, making sure I know they’re good with little children.

About: I have had dogs all my life (and cats occasionally!) They need us so much - they are innocent souls like our children that depend on care & love. I work from home so I'm available at all times with great opportunity to hold/care and insure they are feeling calm & secure, well fed, and welcome at all times. I have had my own dogs/cats for 40 years. My dog, Julia, is 2 yrs. old and extremely well trained in all aspects. I live in an apartment that is 50 feet from a back open area of trees & ponds. I also have a fenced dog play area for those who are not accustomed to being leashed and need to run. I currently work from home so I may provide constant oversight & care. My dog, Julia, is extremely friendly without any aggressive behaviors. I can crate your pet should you feel that's required per your specifications. I live in a clean & welcoming apartment with my Pomeranian, Julia. We have a dog park/run/free roam area that I use constantly. In many cases, I feel it's important to bond with your pet by spending personal attention to them upon arrival. Giving a soothing voice, providing calming energy, toys, bones, & cleanliness is incredibly important for their care.

About: I have had animals my whole life. I have experience with dogs primarily, but I have experience with fish, Guinea pigs, cats, and birds! Any time friends/family leave town, I’m the one they call. Always open to questions☺️ I currently have my kitty Sol in my home, but I always take care of my 2 pups on the weekend, and I took care of them everyday when I was a kid! Dogs are my Bestfriend☺️ I have special treats and food I feed to each of my dogs, as they are different ages and breeds. I try to stay on top of new diets I see online, and vet check them beforehand. I have always followed the rule: leave the area nicer when you found it, so if the dog has an accident, no problem!

About: I have cared for and watched my family members' dogs for years. I look after them as if they were my own and develop strong bonds from the start. I am a biomedical teacher during the school year. So I have plenty of time during the summer months to care and look after pets. I also have medical background knowledge to help make a pet's stay as comfortable as possible. No other pets or children will be in the home that might cause stress. I only take on one pet at a time to assure full attention and care for that animal.

“She has become my trusty dog walker/person! Michaela shows up on time and ensures that the pups are taken care of and get lots of pets! 100% would recommend her! I have her as my weekly dog person now ! :)”
